With Kevin Nisbet perhaps ruled out for the next squad his chances improved. However, I strongly suspect Nisbet's place will go to Jacob Brown.

How many SPFL players have the Of signed since Fraser left, I am assuming you don't mean the recent availability Probably not but a with a front two of Roofe and Lammers the Champions League is nailed on surely? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but they'd score you goals in the SPFL, like Kris Boyd used to for Rangers and Leigh Griffiths did for Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 It cannot be ignored that the OF could have had McGinn, Porteous, Ferguson, McKenna and Hickey in their sides and pissed it up against the wall. All of them are performing now at a higher level so OF fans should be asking why they did not sign any of them when they had the chance. They probably would have cost less than foreign imports bought instead and have struggled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepped up is certainly not the case, deemed possibly capable of doing in no small part due to lack of quality options is more appropriate.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't say they have stepped up to international standard. The very fact that they can't get a game for us ahead of dykes and adams probably says alot about our striking options and the level nisbet and shankland are at as well. Saying that it's just the reality of where we are in regards striking options and I am happy for Hardie to be given a chance if he keeps up this kind of form.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying they are pinpoint marksmen at international level but they are the best we have. Dykes and Adams chip in with enough goals (14 between them) to be not too shabby (by Scotland's standards) at international level. Our strengths is in how the rest of the team can and do chip in with their fair share of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our strengths is in how the rest of the team can and do chip in with their fair share of goals. So what I am saying is right enough. They have yet to properly step up to international level. 1 goal each isn't much and one of those was v San Marino. Both of them have alot to prove in terms of international football or being able to cut it at a high level. I think Hardie is easily staking a claim to be considered alongside shankland and nisbet. But saying that truthfully our striking options are pretty woeful in general. Thankfully Clarke manages to get the best out of dykes and to lesser extent Adams. Until a top level striker comes along we just need to try and get the best out of our current options. I know alot of ppl feel we have a much stronger pool of talent compared with the previous 20 odd years but personally I feel that it's only marginally better and our main reason for recent success has come from good management. We often line up with 3 guys who play in the second tier of England. Our main striker scored 8 goals last season in 40 games in the English championship. Basically Clarke is squeezing the best out of what most ppl would consider average players and is also getting the best out of our more gifted players like robbo and mctominay.
